Now that all the turbulence of last year's name change is over, I really hope that the Club can get the website sorted out
It really is a disgrace !!
It is so S-L-O-W that many a times I just give up ....... the CCC site by comparison is lightening fast and very responsive & a pleasure to use
As one of the leading caravanning clubs in the UK, the website above all else is what really lets the organisation down

Others are either quoting your posts.--- OR -- copying your posting style (which you should take as a real compliment)
I always like to give credit where credit is due.

Ah but can any of you Euro fans actually say " I like travelling to different countries and drinking in another culture" in a a European language? Real converts (like our next door neighbour) learn the language and buy a house amongst the local community, in this instance a tiny Spanish fishing village......you're still only tourists, enjoying yourself, but still tourists. My sister actually lived on Crete for a good while, in all seasons. Teaching English to Cretan children.
You really are...........just tourists!

- I think you are right there K those of us who spend time on the mainland of Europe would never have cause to say "over there" that' an expression most often found among the posts of those who have never tried it

But David, you appear to think that touring abroad is only possible or desirable if towing a huge white box behind you! There are other ways of enjoying life around the world you know and without repeatedly revisiting the same places, attractive though they might be.

Anybody touring a foreign country is a tourist who enjoys meeting and chatting to people who have a different culture to themselves. The culture is absorbed in small quantities. Staying on campsites abroad is one of the best ways to hone our language skills and enjoy meeting people in a relaxed and informal way.
I know this may sound odd to those who never go outside their comfort zone. But touring abroad Is exciting, rewarding and enjoyable. And unlike the UK there is never any need to visit the same place twice.

Obviously I agree with that, micky. For me the most exciting places to tour are those far-flung spots which one is only likely to visit once in a lifetime. Not much chance of towing to those although I did have a hankering after hiring one of those big LVs when we were in the Rockies a few years back. But of course it matters not if one is caravanning, staying in plush hotels or cruising. The really exciting things are the places you see, the people you meet and the experiences that last you a lifetime and are not likely to be repeated.

Yep, life is too short to limit one's experiences! We will 'caravan' at home or abroad and enjoy both but those opportunities which become available via a different travel 'mode' are equally if not more valued. We just keep our horizons open and enjoy all whilst we can.
